KISS (Gene Simmons) 1978 Gene Simmons Poster Insert I had high hopes for
Gene Simmons solo effort as well. At first, I only thought a handful of songs were solid and the rest average at best. Over the years this just keeps getting better and better. It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close.
Gene definitely indulged himself in getting everyone he could think of to play on this record. It's loaded with with such notable players like
Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (Doobie Brothers). Rick Neilsen (Cheap Trick), Bob Seger, Michael Des Barres and
Cher. Of course she would be involved since he was banging her at the time. But the biggest what the f*ck moment is reserved for
Donna Summer and
Helen Reddy lending out a helping hand. But probably the biggest head trip for you guys would be that
Katey Sagal did background vocals here. Yes, THAT
Katey Sagal from
Married With Children, Futurama and
Sons Of Anarchy fame.
Fave Songs:
Radioactive, Burning Up With Fever, Tunnel Of Love, Living In Sin and
Always Near You / Nowhere To HideFreebie trend continues with a
Poster insert that is 1/4th of a larger poster that connects with the other 3 solo album posters ala a jigsaw puzzle.
Best Cover of the 4 solo albums IMO.
